Remember the TV Show hosted by Art Linkletter who had a segment about kids saying the darndest things? Very funny stuff comes out of kid's mouth. Adults are supposed to be more sophisticated and are presumed to know that words mean something. However, this is not the case for Democrats in general and Liberal Democrats in particular. This is probably due to the fact that they have the scenario in reverse and we the public are the kids who are to dumb to understand what they are saying.
Just today, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said that it is imperative for the government to reduce over time the debt that is piling up as a result of the government's response to recession and financial market turmoil. Huh? I have a plan....stop the bailouts and alleged stimulus plans and viola....the debt will reduced now. The programs and pork being created by all these bogus spending plans will never, I repeat NEVER be dropped. Now let me explain how Democrats cut a budget item. First, pass a budget bill increasing an item from $5M to $10M. Follow me so far? Second, the next day announce that this budget item has been cut to $7.5M. Third, hold a press conference and tout that you have cut this budget item by 25%. The lap dogs in the press will eat it up. The public will.....oh forget it. What you say? The budget item actually went up 50%? The response: what can be expected from a right-winger who hates poor people and polar bears who have to indure this 25% cut. Uncaring Bastards!
Next item....I was checking out the Boston Globe website and came across this beauty. The Govenor of Massachusetts is proposing a $2 Carbon Tax on parking at Boston's Logan International Airport to discourage people from parking at the airport and to encourage that they use public transportation. The gem of an idea comes just 14 months after the state finished building a $15 billion tunnel project designed in large part to improve driving access to Logan. These people are hilarious.
Stick with me on Massachusetts for a second....a group of Mass businesses (make that liberal businesses) are promoting the idea of a 25 cent increase in the gas tax for motorist to fix the the roads in the state......and this will....hold on....get ready....."increase the business climate in Massachusetts." Love it, I know the first thing I will do when my gas tank cost more to fill up is to drive around and support the local businesses...chuckle....actually the only business that would see more traffic would be Chevron or Shell. Add this to the recent tax scheme proposed in the state for taxing motors by the mile.....that should increase the business climate. Taxachusetts has some of the funniest people. They must stay up all night thinking of this stuff.
Moving on...How about the funny stuff coming out of President Obama's mouth lately. Today he urged the public to buy stocks! I guess he means we should by stocks before they run out. At the rate he is going, a dow average in the 50-100 range is not far off. Better hurry before the shelves are bare.
How about this gem on CNN on December 7, 2008. Obama has repeated this mantra over and over so you will believe the words coming out of his mouth:
CNN) -- President-elect Barack Obama issued a warning Sunday to officials around the country who want to fund projects with federal dollars: no more business as usual.
Decisions on projects won't be made "simply based on politics," President-elect Obama said on "Meet the Press." Obama said: "What we need to do is examine: What are the projects where we're going to get the most bang for the buck? How are we going to make sure taxpayers are protected? "You know, the days of just pork coming out of Congress as a strategy, those days are over."
Another funny line by the Presidential Jester....these days are over....good one. Over until yesterday as ABC reported:
"President Obama to Sign Pork-Laden Omnibus Spending Bill"
March 02, 2009 8:29 AMTheresa Cook-->
Obama administration officials Sunday announced that despite expressed "concerns" with the billions in earmarks contained in the $410 billion omnibus spending bill -- and campaign pledges to "slash earmarks by more than half" -- the President would sign the bill.
Of course, ABC (All Barack Coverup) noted that Obama had already signed to major pieces of legislation with ZERO....repeat ZERO pork spending. This included the remarks by White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel noted on Face the Nation that when "President Obama came to office, two major bills were passed without earmarks. The major economic recovery act -- earmark-free; the children's health care bill -- earmark-free. He has said clearly his policies about earmarks, which is you've got to be -- more accountability, more transparency, and a reduction."
As David Letterman would note on his Top Ten Countdown (if he were not in the tank for Obama), lets look at the "earmark-free" stimulus bill:
1. 8 billion for high-speed railway (including an earmark for an Los Angeles to Las Vegas
2. 1 billion for the “FutureGen” not-ready-for-primetime near zero emission plant in Illinois
3. 3 billion for Amtrak
4. 24 million for USDA buildings and rent
5. 50 million for watershed rehabilitation
6. 200 million for public computer centers at community colleges and libraries
7. 650 million for the DTV converter box coupon program
8. 300 million to purchase scientific instruments for colleges and museums
9. 210 million for State and local fire stations
10. 32 million for home-delivered nutrition services
The list could be the top 10,000 but that would go against my TV angle in this blog. My favorite is the Harry Reid High Speed train to Las Vegas. I would save money by combining #1 and #3 above...just make Amtrak go faster. In addition, the high speed only needs to be one way.....get the suckers into town and put them on a slow train back to LA.
Well, to Harry Reid, wherever you are....thanks for the Pork and ....Póg ma thoin!

The Boston Berry Chai Tazo Tea Party
Well, it has been quite a while since my last post. As a former republican, it was with some joy that I watched the lemmings follow John McCain over the cliff. Senator McCain is a RINO in the fashion of Arnold the great Governator of California. I cringed during the entire election every time McCain gave a speech as I thought of all the democratic legislation he joined in with the likes of Ted Kennedy et. al. However, since the election of the empty suit named Burack Hussein Obama, I have watched our country go slowly, no...make that quickly go down the drain. With the press firmly implanted up Obama's ass, the America founded in 1776 is disappearing from sight. It appears that no one is watching this coup in the making. If you object to the spending of trillions of dollars to bail out the crooks and losers of our society, you are shunned and ridiculed.
The cries for a new Boston Tea Party are just a whimper...because America has already surrendered to tyranny and taxation without (make that with) representation. Besides, such a party could not be held in Boston because that City surrendered many years ago with one of the highest tax rates in the US. I had a distant relative fight at the Battle of Bunker Hill during the Revolution (actually, it was on another hill but that is not the point) I can imagine him rolling over in his grave.
Our Taxes are skyrocketing on the local, state and national level. As a conservative, I cannot help but laugh at RINOs who now claim to be fiscal convervatives after years of feeding out of the public trough. Even worse, are the liberals who scoff at such demands for fiscal common sense with the righteous response....who are these Republicans to now complain after increasing the deficits and taxes under their own watch......you tell them Liberals.....why since the Republicans raised the deficits and national debt....we will triple these results and it won't take us eight years to do it...huh? How is this done with a straight face?
How is this happening? Why is there no outcry? Honestly, I do not have the space or time to answer that question. We have become a nation of stupid and intellectually lazy people. The graduation rates in many of our schools is criminal....kids that are failed by the system do not get a diploma but go directly to jail, without passing go. Our borders are open to anyone smart enough to hide in the belly of a truck or swim across a river in Texas. And these are not the rocket scientists that are coming to our country. We are importing people who did not grow up with freedom. People in Latin America or Mexico do not understand that challenging our government is our right given to us by many who have fought and died before us. The American Dream established by our founders is no more. If you do not believe me, read the LA Times or New York Times with a critical eye...can you spot the bias? Are these writers really that ignorant? The 6:00 news on TV has turned into Pravda....speaking the Truth as Leftists see it. By now, many who would read this disjointed diatribe would label me as just another right-wing lunatic. Because this is how thought in America is handled. If you do not go along with the masses, you are labeled as a right winger, racist, homophobe, sceptic, etc. etc. etc.
If you do not believe in Global Warming...you hate poor people and polar bears. Want to stop terrorism by turning up the volume of Barry Manilow music at Guantanamo....then you a neo-con who wants to violate the rights of poor misguided souls who have been led into a live of terrorism because of America and its beliefs. If you hate the jews you are an anti-semite....oh...I am sorry, it is ok to hate the Jews and Isreal......never mind.
Although America has officially surrended, it does not mean that you have too. When Americans are awoken from their deep sleep, the will rise up again. Because Americans love America and love what it stands for. They are just a forgetful people. It takes a 9/11 incident or a tax revolt to jar their memory.
Another Boston Tea Party? Not likely, the EPA and your local Hazmat team would be there to catch the tea before it hit the water. The Environmentalist would have a stroke.....Obama would outlaw tea. I can just see the headlines in Boston: "Boston Berry Chai Tazo Tea Party held by people claiming to be Americans."
Ok, I am out of here....and to all who sat silently and slept while America surrendered......Póg mo thóin!
